I've finally finished my 15th model. This one is a Volkswagen 1300 Beetle, 1966 Model. The other day I asked yeye what colour his Beetle used to be, he replied, "have green, white, blue, yellow..." I really didn't know he drove so many Beetles. No wonder he's such a big fan of them. So, maybe this Beetle should be dedicated to him.

This model is one of the most tedious I've ever done. There was about 70% painting to be done, which is quite a lot. It's not like painting a real car, because every drop of paint has to fall on a precise spot. One bit out and the car will look very messy. For example, I think I took 2 days to do the windows because the silver edges had to be very neat.

The picture on top doesn't do enough justice to all my hard work. The engine and interior designs (like the dashboard) had to be even more precise than the painting on the exterior.

Ah well, despite the "troublesomeness" (to quote Ebot), the sense of accomplishment is rewarding.
